Bitdefender is committed to delivering innovative and effective security solutions to you. This is why the latest Bitdefender version - 2015, is fully compatible with Windows 10.

If you’re running one of the 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 versions of Bitdefender on your computer and you decide to upgrade your Operating System to Windows 10, you will be able to install the latest compatible Bitdefender product.

IMPORTANT: Should you decide to do that, prior to the OS upgrade, we would recommend exporting the Bitdefender Wallet database, so you can import it again after this process (this will keep your Wallet information in Windows 10).

NOTE: Not exporting the Wallet database will result in the loss of the Wallet information after the OS upgrade.
